Summer Knitty Kitty Variation 1 and 2 is a super simple and beginner friendly knit. It’s a Spring/Summer tank top that is knitted by holding 2 or more yarns together. Variation 1 is knitted by holding two DK weight yarns together. Variation 2 on the other hand is knitted holding a DK with a lace weight Alpaca Silk or Mohair Silk, this creates a nice ethereal effect to the garment.
